GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay volleyball team has had a productive
spring season, and head coach Debbie Kirch's team will play its final tournament on Saturday at Northwestern in
Evanston, Ill. In this week's update, GreenBayPhoenix.com looks back at the
team's play in the UIC Tournament and ahead to the competition Green Bay will
play at Northwestern.

UIC TournamentGreen
Bay played three matches while at Horizon League opponent UIC's spring
tournament, with matches against Northern Illinois, UIC and DePaul. Senior Carlie Willison (Greenfield, Wis.) was
a leader for the Phoenix statistically, totaling 16 kills and 18 digs in the
matches.

"I
was encouraged by what I saw from our outsides, specifically from Carlie," said
Kirch. "She stood out individually to me. It was the best she has swung in her
entire career here, so hopefully that is a sign of things to come. Our defense,
starting with the block, needs to get better and more consistent."

Northwestern TournamentIn
this Saturday's spring finale, Green Bay will again face UIC along with
Illinois State and Northwestern in Evanston. It will be a stiff day of
competition as Northwestern won 20 matches and Illinois State posted 19 wins in
2010. The matches will be played at Welsh Ryan Arena and are open to the
public.
